If in 1997 the population of village D is increased by 10% and the population of village G is reduced by 5% from 1995 and the population of village G in 1995 was 9000, what is the total population of villages D and G in 1997?
Explanation:
Population of village D in 1995 = 9000 ×17/15 = 10,200
Population of village D in 1997 = 10,200 ×110/100 = 11,220
Population of village G in 1997 = 9,000 ×95/100 = 8,550
Total population of villages D and G in 1997 = 11,220 + 8,550 = 19,770.
